RUMOR: Transformers: Prime to end with only 16 episodes of season 3?

TFW2005 wrote:Transformers Prime voice actors Jeffrey Combs and Tony Todd are appearing at the El Paso Comic Con in Texas this weekend - and at a joint panel Jeffrey Combs has dropped a few bombshells regarding the future of the Transformers Prime series. By way of 2005 Boards member MiraiBaby who is at the convention we can relay this news to you:
Season 3 will only last 16 episodes
Combs just finished recording the last episode to season 3
Jeffrey Combs is quoted as having said "Unfortunately this iteration of the franchise is coming to an end"

What this means for the recently revealed "Beast Hunters" and the leaked Hasbro document suggesting Transformers Prime is planned to continue through 2015 is unclear - more information will hopefully follow. Keep it TFW2005 and we will share more information as it reaches us.

Now, keep in mind, this is NOT an official confirmation, but it still remains a possibility.

Also note that the leaked presentation that told us about Beast Hunters also said that the Prime cartoon (and the Rescue Bots cartoon) would be going as far as 2015. :???:

Could be interpreted as this particular form of TF:Prime is ending but the story will continue into Beast Hunters, similar to how A/E/C was suppose to work.

Hmmm, I may have to look into this. I would like to know what "Beast Masters" is though.

That was a typo on Burn's part. He meant "Beast Hunters".

Well, that sucks. Although it does fit the three year pattern Hasbro seems to rotate the franchise, thought.

Don't forget that we're still in season 2, with seven more episodes left till the finale.

Then comes season 3.

This seems like too major a thing for a VA to let slip at some random convention.

Kinda odd how the Prime toy line seems to be petering out (we've only got, what, 1 Wave left to be released? And of course Hasbro seems to be ignoring certain toys Takara's using), we see a trademark for a "new" cartoon, and now this. Granted we still have quite a bit of show left, which means the toy line's apparent "end" doesn't really line up right.


Since they want to keep to the 'aligned' continuity, I'd imagine a successor series will follow Prime soon enough. Hopefully it (assuming it'll happen, of course) will feel like a proper sequel, unlike other successor series...

I don't get it.

First we're told 2015, now we have Jeffrey Combs telling us it's NEXT year! WTF? (I don't doubt him. I'm sure he's telling the truth. He not only gets the scripts for the episodes and knows what's coming, but he's also working with the crew behind the show. If he has info saying this is it, then it really is it.)

I'm not happy right now. I'm tired of this crap. Animated still leaves a sore spot in my heart. I loved Animated, but I LOVE Prime. Seriously. I'll be heartbroken if it's gone.
